Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 60
द्विजभक्तिपराः शूद्राः ये पाखंडैर्न लोपिताः । जैन धर्मात्परावृत्तास्ते गोभूजास्तथोत्तमाः
dvijabhaktiparāḥ śūdrāḥ ye pākhaṃḍairna lopitāḥ | jaina dharmātparāvṛttāste gobhūjāstathottamāḥ
وہ شودر جو دِوِجوں کی خدمت و بھکتی میں لگے رہے، جنہیں پाखنڈ کے راستوں نے گمراہ نہ کیا، اور جو جین دھرم سے پلٹ آئے—ایسے لوگ ‘گوبھوج’ اور نہایت افضل سمجھے گئے۔
Narrator (speaker not explicit in snippet)
Scene: A humble Śūdra household offers service—water, food, and cow-care—to dvijas; a symbolic turning-away from a Jaina identity is shown as leaving behind a different emblem, stepping toward Vedic fire/altar; the community honors them as ‘gobhūja’.
